THE PROJECT CHALLENGE /

With a repetitive design across 25 townhouses, the builder was searching for an efficient framing system to speed up the install process.

THE CORTEK FRAMING STEEL SOLUTION /

In a first for the builder, steel was chosen as the framing material of choice, an advanced alternative to a traditional on site timber build.

Framing was shop detailed, 3D modelled and engineered in-house to meet the relevant codes, structural requirements and project specifications.

Townhouse types were produced from the same drawing for the steel model for improved manufacturing and quicker installation.

With frames labelled and linked to drawings completed in the design stage, the delivery process was coordinated and efficient.

In the words of the client:

Steel was a great choice due to the repetitive nature of project and we would definitely use Cortek Framing by SBS Group again.
